~Luna's Playground~

Skyla lay in her bed waiting on Belle Morte to finish talking with her parents, a conversation that was growing progressively more embarrassing as it went on.

“Mother, is this interrogation really necessary? Belle is not suggesting such a thing to be lascivious but to get our team back in the field as quickly and efficiently as possibly!” she said in a huff

“Yes my dear, we have heard stories of Belle's children who are able to enslave others with their bite. We need to ascertain whether this is true and ensure that if it is to make sure to take safeguards against such a thing especially since you are the heir to the Crystal Kingdom” Princess Cadence said patiently smiling indulgently at her daughter. Her father was less tactful...

“Speak for yourself Cady” he said looking angry “I think that she wants to take our daughter home with her and use her as some sick plaything”

“Princess, Prince, I assure you that while I was raised in a time that a woman of your daughters age would have long been married, I have no desire for children and let us be honest betwixt ourselves, she has not been an innocent in any way but physically in quite some time. She has told you of her visions since childhood has she not Princess?” Belle said airily

“What is she talking about Cady...?” Shining Armor asked quietly Cadence had the decorum to look embarrassed

“Well I didn't think it would be something she would want her father to hear of...” Cadence started only to be interrupted loudly by Skyla

“You are right about that Mom! And I don't want him to now!” Skyla yelled blushing furiously

“Tell me...”Shining said with an air of defeat in his voice

“UGH! Fine... Since I was a child I have been dreaming of a man, he was powerful and protected me from all harm as a child, but as I grew older our relationship... changed... he cared for me and I knew that he was to be the man I tied myself to for eternity. He was never alone, he had a large group of lovers but it was not cheaply done, he loved us all and we him. I never saw his face only that he had fangs and was a Belle... even though I never saw them...” Skyla trailed off with a deep blush on her face as the realization of how she would know such a thing came to her father.

“So you are telling me that you believe Moon Strike is this man in your visions?” Shining armor said gritting his teeth while magic flowed around his hands raised by his high emotions.

“I do Dad, Moon is the only man I have ever truly loved and now that I am... whatever I am now, my age doesn't matter, the fact that I love all of the others as well is as Auntie Pinkie would put it icing on a cake.” She said her skin starting to return to its startling white brilliance. “He is the only one that matches my visions and if I am truthful I knew the moment I met him that he was the one...”

“How?... you touched him... damn visions” Shining said

“Belle Morte, I apologize for my husbands brash manner but he is rather protective of those he loves.” Cadence said lightly trying to appear indifferent to the memories of what her daughter had told her over the years and what she had just told her father was a greatly sanitized version.

“Think nothing of it Princess, my offer to heal them would stand even had he attacked me. I had children of my own prior to my transformation, so I understand.” Belle said with a small smile

Shining Armor walked to the door and after throwing it open reached out to yank in a very distressed Moon Strike. “Get in here pretty boy...” he grumbled setting the Dhamphire on his feet.

Moon immediately dropped to his knees in front of not only his Soudre de Sang but royalty as well “What would you have of me?' he said as if an executioners axe poised over his neck.

Shining glowered at him for a moment and took a breath patting Moon on the back “Rise Hunter, seems my daughter has chosen you to be her consort, so you live for now.”

“I am honored, but what of the threats on my life...?” Moon asked relief obvious in his tone

“Lifted” Cadence said simply “She was put in danger and transformed against her will while you were trying to prevent such a thing in the first place, so it only makes sense that you should be the one to help her heal and learn this new life she will lead.”

It was as if the weight in the room had been lifted and Skyla laughed delicately “Mom! You know what is going to happen and you don't seem to be flustered at all. In fact if I remember Dad's stories right you were more stressed at the first Equestria Games in the Crystal Kingdom.”

“Well dear you seem to forget that I am the Archmage of Love, that means love in all its expressed forms” Cadence said with a sly chuckle as that information ran over her daughters thoughts.

“EWWWWWW!”

Cadence and Shining just laughed as Skyla squeezed her eyes shut trying to keep several mental images out of her head. Belle pulled Moon to the side and whispered “What of the supposed traitor?”

“No word yet my Lady, Discord has not spoken since we brought Eris back, he seems to be just as broken as his daughter, though the Mages Princess Celestia brought in to help heal her mind have helped a great deal she will need to be monitored closely for quite some time.” Moon said shaking his head

“I will speak to Lord Discord about allowing her to be present when I heal the rest of your team, as long as Skyla has not inherited the strain that so corrupted Morte de Amour and does not rot I think it will be okay she seems quite pleasant even knowing she is speaking with vampires.” Belle said with a slight smile

“I do not my Lady.” Skyla said from her bed, “Rot that is, my powers are different from what Moon has told us of the other Clans. They seem to lay closer to your own, if I may?”

“Of course, young one” Belle said having forgotten that Skyla with her new senses could hear us clearly.

Skyla concentrated for a brief moment and we felt a warm wave of energy pulse over us, Shining gulped and quickly adjusted his pants as did Moon as they were suddenly and unexpectedly harder than either of them had ever been, Cadence fought back a moan as she was immediately ready and wetter than even her husband had made her. Even Belle fought to remain impassive though she had a difficult time of it. Just as quickly as it had come the energy abated and we were all left breathless and embarrassed at the thoughts that had been coursing through each and every one of our minds.

“Damnit I am going to have to change underwear now” Cadence said with a flushed face laughing the whole time.

“Which is why I never wear any Princess” Belle said smiling “they simply get in the way.” she turned to Skyla who was blushing furiously “Do not be ashamed of this power my child, I would gladly welcome you into my Clan if this is how your powers have manifested.”

“I am not ashamed My Lady, only embarrassed that I inadvertently used it on my parents when I was only wanting to show you and Moon, there is a strange effect however.” Skyla said raising her head and turning her cheek to us only for us to see a series of spidery cracks in her porcelain skin healing as we watched. Just before it closed over completely a stunning black and blue butterfly appeared on her cheek and flew away before crumbling into dust after a moment.

“I have experimented and the more power I use the larger the cracks and the more butterflies appear. If I exhaust myself I actually shed my skin like a porcelain shell and emerge with minor changes afterward, something I have only done once and have no desire to do again, I had to go through three donors to prevent hurting them just to recover, but it did have one effect that was pleasant” Skyla said drawing the blanket down over her body so we could see it. “I've grown three inches and two cup sizes though noting else seems to have changed from hair length to existence of hair in the first place. The doctors seem to think that I am physically eighteen now.”

Belle laughed musically “My child, please say you will join my Clan such power would be wasted anywhere else.”

“Gladly, though I wish to stay with Moon Strike as I am still one of the bearers of the Elements.” Skyla replied as her parents gathered their things

“Of course, who am I to deny fate such a pair as yourselves.”

“Not a pair Belle,” we hear from the door as her parents open it to leave only to see the rest of our team standing outside “we are a Kiss no different from any other, just we have more donors than vampires.” Twilight says walking in to the room trailed by Sweetie, Applebloom and a wheelchair bound Scootaloo who was being pushed by a flustered Babs and finally the mountain that was Mac Jr. ducked into the door fluttering his wings behind him. As Twilight used her magic to lift Skyla into a wheelchair she turned to Belle handing her a stack of papers “I believe you will find this to be in order registering us all as a formal Kiss and all donor paperwork. All it lacks is your signature.”

“You are registering with Moon as your Master? Why not Trixie?” Belle asked shuffling through the paperwork

“Because, My Lady even though I am a First Blood I am inexperienced and much younger than Moon who, if I am truthful is much more powerful than I am” Trixie says leaning against the door frame

“I dislike a First Blood child of mine playing Temoin to a Third but your reasoning is sound so I will allow it” Belle said drawing a quill out of midair with a flare of magic to scrawl her name on the paperwork.

“Temoin?” Sweetie asked

“It means Second in command or as it is more commonly known a stalking horse, it is a term used to denote a powerful member of a kiss who is charged to act as head of the kiss to protect the true masters identity if assassins come calling.” Trixie said lightly as if she just hadn't put her head on the block “but what are the odds that anyone besides Morte de Amour would be crazy enough to attack the Hunters lair?”

“True enough” Twilight said hugging her lover as she wheeled Skyla to the door with her magic “but we can talk about it later for now we have to get to the castle the trial will be starting soon.”

~Canterlot Castle~

The throne room was filled with various members of all the remaining Clans and important nobles as well as several families that had been affected by Morte de Amour's Clan, viewing justice finally being done for their losses. The Dais at the head of the room held three thrones as opposed to just one as it normally did, one each for Celestia, Luna and Cadence while Shining Armor stood behind his wife in full armor and arms. Finally Celestia spoke

“Today we are here to lay bare the crimes of Morte de Amour and pass judgment on him should he be found guilty. As the moon rides the sky Princess Luna will officiate as is her right, I will only be acting as council for her, Princess Cadence will only observe and will have no say in the outcome of this hearing as her daughter is of the injured parties. Are there any objections to these terms?” she was met with complete silence “then let us begin, bring him out”

A door to the side of the throne opened and three guards dragged a haggard and starving Morte de Amour onto the floor enveloped in three layers of shielding and deposited him onto his knees in front of the dais.

“Morte de Amour, you have been accused of multiple counts of illegal transformation, kidnapping not one but two Elements of Harmony, inciting open rebellion against the crown, and Treason. How do you plead in this case?” Luna asked simply

“Oh just get on with it you old hag...” Morte de Amour mumbles

“Very well, then if you will not plead we will let your memories speak for themselves.” Luna replied coldly as she begins to cast a spell to draw out his memories a call from the door rings out.

“Please Princess allow me.” a deep booming voice calls out and a large vampire stands up from the council seat and sweeps a cloak behind him.

“Ah, Lord Bre'ago I had not realized you had awoken from your century slumber” Luna said gently as she lowered her hands. “Please perform the spell so that we can see his crimes laid bare.”

“There is no need for that spell since my apprentice is also here and he participated in the rescue of the Elements and witnessed the accused committing the acts of which he is charged. Please come forward Spike” motioning behind him to a cloaked figure. The figure dropped his hood to reveal the spiky green hair and green slitted eyes of the young drake.

“Yes Master,” he walked forward to kneel before the dais “Princesses, I am here as witness to the crimes of the accused and swear to tell naught but truth this day on my honor as a Dragon.”

“Please Rise young Drake and tell this Court what you have seen.”

“Morte de Amour kidnapped the Element of Loyalty Scootaloo and Princess Skyla the Element of Magic attempted to keep her in place and disrupt his spell. Twilight traced the spell to a warehouse here in Canterlot where Former Element Bearer Rainbow Dash changed into a creature known as a Skinwalker the details are a little vague on what that exactly is but she shifted and proceeded to attack the vampires within the warehouse searching for her adopted daughter. The rest of the team except myself Twilight and the Hunter joined her. We followed the signature of the spell to the back office and found the accused draining Scootaloo against her will and after apprehending the accused we found Princess Skyla already drained in the back room.” Spike said calmly

“And what of Lady Eris daughter of Lord Discord?” Luna asked only to have a ragged man only barely recognizable as Discord stand up.

“That is my own tale to tell since I should be in chains up there as well.” he said hollowly “know first that as soon as Eris is well I plan to leave my magic to her and all my titles as well. I no longer deserve them after swearing to serve this realm and then allowing myself to be blackmailed by the likes of him.” Discord sneers at Morte de Amour who had remained silent up to this point. “He took my daughter some five years ago and held her hostage forcing me occasionally to do as he commanded threatening her life if I did not comply. I attempted to kill him on several occasions but nothing worked until I poisoned him with what he thought was an ingested poison but was really an inhalant activated when he burned it out of the blood he was drinking, and even that only caused him to go into a blood rage and start killing his own people.”

“What would he command you to do?” Luna says coldly

“Bring him specific people usually, seems his diet was rather varied and he liked changing as many races as he could in order to infiltrate as many governments as possible. Former Council member Ataxia was one such though she went willingly. The worst was when he commanded me to implant a traitor into the Hunter's lair, one of his oldest children and one whose magic was so strong she was able to hide what she was even in the light of day.”

“Name this traitor so that they can be brought forth to stand beside their master.” Luna replied

“Oh, you know her quite well, she used to be your sisters student before your unfortunate banishment Princess.” Discord laughed weakly

“It cannot be....” Celestia whispers

“Sunset Shimmer...” just in time to hear the throne rooms doors swing closed as someone flashed out in a streak of red and gold hair.

“Hunter! Track her down and bring her to me!” Celestia thundered then more calmly “No Hunter, death on sight, but be wary she was a powerful Mage when she studied under me and will undoubtedly have grown stronger over the last thousand years.”

“It will be done Princess but my team is not yet at full strength, may we retire to heal as discussed in order to be at full strength?” Moon says from the floor as he falls to his knees. “My team lived through his atrocities and have no desire to relive them in this courtroom.”

“Very well, take your leave but as soon as you are able I want her hunted down and executed.” Celestia replies

Luna speaks into the echoing silence “Lord Discord we will discuss your status at a later point, but I think that with the Hunter and his team gone I will extract the memories of this beast so that we may all see the truth of these claims. Morte de Amour, this will not be quick and it will hurt more than you could ever imagine as I strip you of your memories for all to see and then when you have been proven the beast we all know you are you will meet my Sisters Sun at dawn.” As Moon Strike takes his lovers and friends out of the throne room all that can be heard is screaming as Morte de Amour's brain is stripped of every memory he has ever had, every sight he has seen and played like a macabre movie over his head using his eyes as projectors.

~Luna's Playground basement quarters ~

Babs put on some music as she usually did when we came home and began to dance only to be joined by Belle who looked just as much at home dancing to the upbeat tune as she did waltzing.

“The lust within these walls is intoxicating Moon Strike you have chosen your Lair well” Belle said as she drew Sweetie Belle into her arms and began to sway in time with the music.

“Thank you My Lady” I say drawing Applebloom to me.

Mac wheels Scootaloo and Eris into the room and places them near the speakers a smile on Eris' face as she finally felt safe again and joins the rest of us on the dance floor. Twilight and Trixie were cuddled up on the couches watching us even Vinyl and Octavia joined in dancing soon enough the feel of the room went from fun and playful to sensual and I could see Belle focusing a bit more letting the Ardeur flow through us all. Mac looked unsure and slightly befuddled as Babs and Sweetie sashayed over to him and started grinding their hips into him.

“It's okay Mac we won't hurt you” Sweetie says sweetly as her eyes begin to glaze over with the lust flowing through the room.

“Much..” Babs chimes in only to have Mac's wings pop open at the thought.

Soon enough Belle motions to Trixie and myself subtly directing us until we were equidistant from each other and we could feel her pulling the Ardeur out of us to amplify her own. No sooner had she harnessed our power than it was all tongues and hands and other things everywhere, it was one person moving onto the next without thought for who was with who or even gender. Skyla ended up in my arms for the first time whispering in my ear as she slid her nude form against me.

“I have dreamed of this for years” she says as she kneels at my feet taking my shaft in her hands stroking me expertly even though I know I am the first she has ever touched. She takes the tip of me into her mouth and swirls her tongue over it gently tasting me.

“Then I shall do my best to make those dreams a reality” I say smiling as she takes more and more of me in her mouth only to have my vision obscured by a beautiful sex topped by a small tuft of purple hair. I look up to see Twilight kneeling over my face and smile as I flick my tongue out to taste what is being offered. Twilight moans as I flutter my tongue over her clit alternating between thrusting deep into her tasting her depths. I feel a pair of legs slide over my hips and realize that Skyla has positioned herself over my shaft and is lining it up to take her for the first time.

“Slowly Skyla, he is larger than most.” I hear Twilight say above me breathlessly as I assault her sex

As Skyla slowly lowers herself onto me it is all I can do to concentrate on the task at hand and not lose control from how tight she is. She whimpers slightly as she seats herself fully onto me then her eyes glaze once again in bliss, I can feel her spasm around me as her body stretches to accommodate my size.

Twilight's hands light up as she touches us and begin to pull a line through us arcing our own magic with nothing but pure sensation “I can feel the bond between you and the others Moon, take what they offer and love them all.”

I pull away enough to breathe out “I already do love them, more than you can know” only to dive back into the sweet juices dripping from her slit as I thrust back into Skyla matching her rhythm. I can feel the Ardeur ready to burst with heat but the energy changes from hot to a cooling breeze and I can see Scootaloo and Eris crawl from their spots and join the writhing pile of bodies, Eris crawling over to Skyla and tasting her juices as she grinds onto my length. I can feel the energies peak in the room as we all seem to peak at the same time one orgasm riding another until a crescendo of energy flows through us all healing our aches and pains, making us whole again.

As we lie in the aftermath of our lovemaking Skyla's eyes flash open “Someone is coming”

Sunset burst through the door spell orbs floating around her “I really didn't want to have to kill you Princess but my orders remain clear, it has to be done before my master dies at dawn.”

Skyla sat up from my embrace a spell on her fingertips her eyes glowing with hate at Sunset's betrayal but Twilight beat her to the punch with a force bolt hitting her across the chin followed by three others to the abdomen.

“You will touch my niece, only when I am dead!” Twi screams as she sends bolt after bolt of energy zinging into Sunset's Spell orbs dispelling them as each makes contact. The ambient energy ramps up quickly as the two former students trade spell after spell each making contact mid air with another.

“That was always the plan Sparkle” Sunset hisses with a sneer “I need to kill you to make that nag Celestia hurt and weaken her so that she can be killed herself.”

A sudden eerie stillness reaches Twilight as she stares down Celestia's former student a glow beginning to shimmer the air around her. “You would dare to threaten the Princess while in my presence?” she asks as her whole body begins to shine. “I have held back for far too long, the Princess needs a better guard than even you can provide Moon, it is time...” her hands rise slowly from where they were at her waist, as they pass her shoulders Sunset begins to show fear for the first time as we can see the beginnings of ephemeral wings emerge from her shoulders.

“Now you face the true meaning of the word Archmage, I am Princess Twilight Sparkle, Student and first guardian of Equestria. I Am Ephemera!” as the glow around Twilight fades we can see that she has grown to almost the height of Princess Celestia with a wingspan to match. The aura of power crackling over her flashes like bolts of lightening as cracks begin to form in the concrete underneath her as her sheer power forces the floor under her to buckle.

Twilight takes to the air with a powerful flap of her newly minted wings, spell orbs flowing around her as if they were water. Twilight's hands move in a powerful combination of gestures binding one spell onto another until all of the globes coalesce into one crackling orb in her palm. “Sunset Shimmer You have failed both as a student to our Princess and as your masters tool, now die knowing that you will be erased from time itself, no one will even remember you existed except for those in this room. All of those you love, every creation you have ever made, all will be reversed. You no longer exist.” Twilight releases her final spell with a flourish of her hands and impacting the cowering Sunset Shimmer in the chest accompanied by a blast of heated air as her body and soul implode in upon itself and she is sucked into a vortex of magic.

Twilight alights back to the ground and turns to us with a sheepish smile on her lips, “Sorry for the deception everyone but I couldn't feign injury any longer while the Princesses remain under threat, if you will still have me I will work with your team when needed but my place is beside Princess Luna and Celestia.” Twilight says as she turns to her lover

“Trixie, My love will you still have me even though I am different now?” Twilight asks the awestruck illusionist

“Twilight I do not think she can speak at the moment, but if I may, I know that ascended Archmages like yourself are not immortal as those who are born such.” Belle Morte says from her resting place, “My offer stands to make you one of my Kiss, with such power as you now hold and immortality you will be far more useful to the Princesses.”

“I accept, My Lady. Make me into an immortal guardian of my Princesses, show me the pleasures that Trixie and Moon have dangled in front of me this night.” Twilight says formally

Belle nods and flashes behind Twilight's back only to have the new Archmage pull her hair to the side baring her neck. Belle leans down and kisses Twilight's neck gently before showing her dainty fangs and closing her mouth over the veins and gently biting down eliciting a gentle hiss before Twilight starts sagging in pleasure, soft moans coming from her mouth as she is drained of her life. Belle releases Twilight after a moment only to turn her around to face her dragging one hand down her hip and drawing her into an embrace. Belle bites her lip drawing a small bead of blood and after a nod from Twilight seals their mouths in a kiss. As soon as the blood touches her tongue Twilight's new wings stiffen with a soft pomf and she begins softly convulsing as the pleasure of the Turn takes her.

Belle slowly lowers her to the floor as she begins convulsing and the changes begin to take place, Twilight's already pale skin taking on an alabaster tone and her muscles and skin all tightening up and firming into a state that could never be achieved through normal means.

“Oh yeah...” Trixie says with a small line of drool hanging from the corner of her mouth.

“I think I need new panties...” Skyla says from my arms voice breathy

“But ya don' wear em” Mac says from the floor underneath Babs and Sweetie

“True” Skyla says perking up her eyes still flashing a mixture of lust and laughter
